I was just following orders in voting for this heroin addict. I wanted to get along, to fit in, and didn't want all the nasty tweets with my name in them...

If you're going to let your newborn mainline heroine, I'd say go ahead and get them the shot.

Risks of the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns are minor. Temporary side effects like soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, mild fever, and fussiness. Serious side effects are rare.

Hepitis B, on the other hand, can destroy a liver.

And be passed on to others by an unvaccinated baby who grows up
